McIntosh C2700 User Manual

29
The Sampling Rate and the Bit Rate are determined
by the original recording, the Application Output
Format (when available) and the McIntosh-HD Control
Panel Settings.
Note: In general, when the original music is recorded
at a higher Sampling Rate, the result is usually
more detail in the music. However, this higher
rate results in consuming larger amounts of stor-
age space. The Sample Rate usually should be set
to match the Sample Rate of the music recording
being played back.
There are many third party Applications (besides
Applications like Windows Media Player) for stream-
ing music from the computer to McIntosh C2700 USB
Input. An example of just one of the available applica-
tions is “JRiver Media Center”.

BY/ON Push-button.
